Hi Diedrich,

BTW, the logging with the new id works.

However it also states

    * Starting with Python 2.3, module authors can also use the object
      types defined in the standard datetime module for date/time
      processing. However, it should be noted that this does not
      expose a C API like mxDateTime does which means that integration
      with C based database modules is more difficult.

I brought this up as I noted that kinterbasdb is now supporting this and 
it can also supports FixedPoint for numeric/decimal columns.
